Ilish Polao: Bringing My Ultimate Comfort Food to Life with Pure CSS

This is my official entry for the Frontend Challenge - Comfort Food Edition under the CSS Art category. Inspiration ๐Ÿš๐ŸŸ When thinking about "comfort food," I didnโ€™t want to pick a generic burger or pizza. I wanted to build something tied directly to home and my culture: Ilish Polao (Hilsha fish cooked with fragrant rice). Hilsha is the national fish of Bangladesh, and Ilish Polaoโ€”paired with a side of spicy-sweet tomato chutneyโ€”is the ultimate comfort meal in our house. Translating a d...

25 Programming Mistakes I Learned After 10 Years of Software Engineering

When you start as a junior developer, you think software engineering is about writing code. A few years in, you think it's about choosing the right architecture and frameworks. After ten-plus years in the trenches - shipping features, surviving on-call disasters, and watching "perfect" codebases turn into unmaintainable monsters - you realize the truth: Software engineering is mostly about managing complexity, human communication, and trade-offs. Here are 25 mistakes I made, witnessed,...

The OpenAI loop tests a view on AI, not just your coding bar

Canonical: this is a cross-post. The original lives at https://four-leaf.ai/blog/openai-interview-process Most OpenAI interview prep hands you a list of hard coding problems and tells you to grind. That calms the nerves and misreads the loop, because at OpenAI the coding bar sits next to something the grind can't touch: a genuine point of view on where AI is going and how it could go wrong. Candidate-facing guides describe that thread running from the first recruiter call to the final beh...

Why Does This Download End in .tar.zst?

You download a backup, software package, or dataset and find a file with an unusually long extension: something.tar.zst It looks like two file formats have somehow been glued together. That is essentially what happenedโ€Šโ€”โ€Šbut each part has a different job. The .tar part bundles files and folders together. The .zst part compresses that bundle. Understanding the difference also explains why these files can be awkward to open on a Mac. Two formats, two jobs ZIP is both...

Your agent's audit log is a story, not evidence

Almost every tool-governance layer I have looked at writes its log after the call returns. Some write it in a finally . Some batch it. Some hand it to a logging framework that flushes on its own schedule. That ordering quietly decides what your log can be used for. If the record is written after the body runs, then a record that is missing has two possible explanations, and nothing in the file distinguishes them: The call was never authorised, so it never ran. The call was autho...

Show HN: Guide AI coding agents on how to use libraries securely

Hi HN, TL;DR: AI Code Security Cards give coding agents library- and version-specific guidance to generate safer code. AI coding agents can generate working code, but they often lack library- and version-specific security knowledge. We've developed AI Code Security Cards, an open-source security knowledge layer, to provide that missing context. The project is related to my PhD, in which I focused on the security of LLM-generated code. During my research, I studied how code generation models be...
